Sun, 30 Jul 2017 09:09:19 +0000http://www.health-matrix.net/?p=4954#comment-538833I think this caveman hype is a sort of confirmation bias. Why is our ancestor always a caveman? What about Jungleman? Or a Coastman? Desertman? Not all the people were hunting huge animals in never ending winter in pre-historical times.

My Australian husband has aboriginal heritage. One of the corner stones of their diet has been wild honey – for tens of thousands of years.

What about my best friend, half African, from rainforests, where the main components of traditional diet is fruit (and some roots, rich in startch)?

I think this caveman hype is an over-simpilfication.

I have nothing against low carb diet. Our modern diet is horrible, of course, and we absolutely should not eat as much sugar as we do now. But maybe we could have a more realistic approach to pre-history when discussing eating habits.

Gluten is definitely not worth it. It is extremely inflammatory. The problem with the sweat does get better. See KetoAdapted by Maria Emmerich, it is really a great source.

Keep up the good work and the good health. All the best!

Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:19:28 +0000http://www.health-matrix.net/?p=4954#comment-12266I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for about 3 years (16 to 18 hours a day fasting with the rest eating ad-lib). I’ve tried a ketogenic diet as well, which I was fine on, except I really disliked the smell of my sweat (as did my wife – which matters! :) ). I now eat enough carb to avoid the smell, but try to get a high percent of my caloric intake from butter and fat!

Recently I’ve moved to doing 24 hour fasts as well. About once a week, 2 hours before I end the 24 hour fast , I do some high intensity anaerobic exercise. I’m 40, exercised most of my life and I’ve _never_ felt better (or looked better!).

I try to tell others about this lifestyle and they think I’m nuts :)

I hope in not to many years the mainstream medical people will pick up on all this.

Fantastic!! I wish there were many more doctors with this same view you have!

And the suggestion for type 2 diabetes? More sugar of course! Insane.

There are now studies out that indicate that fasting one or two days a week (basically being ketogenic) significantly reduces your chance of old age dementia.

Nothing is going to change if people don’t wake up to the fact that they have to be their own main healers. Docs, nurses, therapists, etc… are companions. Unfortunately, with the corruption of science that has taken over the medical science, one has to be very well read and informed and trade carefully in the health care system, specially when it comes to diet and prevention of disease, weight loss and dealing with chronic conditions. But in the end, it is much more rewarding.

Take good care!

These are great words of truth, Dr Segura.

Imagine walking into a medical doctor’s office and seeing this simple statement up for all to see.

Empowerment is a personal responsibility and yet schools, the medical system, governments, broadcasting media services, I doubt any organisation that serves the pubic has an affirmation like this as parts of its mission statement.

I would make the statement more universal:
“It is up to each of us to take the matter of our lives into our own hands.”

The other day a medical doctor, a spokesman for the provincial medical system, was on a local station of our national radio, CBC, discussing flue vaccinations for children. He was asked why many parents were not getting their children vaccinated and his response was that people were spending too much time on the internet and getting the wrong information from so called health sites. I remember the time before the internet and getting wrong information from libraries and home encyclopaedia was the culprit.

I believe it is true to say that when scare tactics, shame and blame are the message, then the message is false. Truth comes from reason, not artful persuasion by guilt.

His is Orwellian speak, the information this medical doctor from the highest level of a provincial government was feeding us, and the interviewer did not doubt or challenge his words.

Dr Segura, people such as you bring moments of joy and hope to those stumbling but trying to live outside convention. If I may speak from my heart, please, next time you look in the mirror, give your reflection a broad smile. Truly, your voice makes all the difference.
